The upper station access platform was beautifully done by John Fiorini & Sons of Rosseau. The stations are always an integral part of the lift.

The winch and electrical panel are protected by the wooden housing at the top end of the track.

At long last these owners enjoy regular sunset dinners on the boathouse roof. Many people find their cottage lives are transformed in unexpected ways.

This was the climb!!! It’s about five stories to Lakeside lawn level. Because it traverses a steep hill, the right-side legs are considerably longer than those on the left side. At the top end, the lift is conveniently tucked into an unused part of the side garden yet close to the cottage. Both access gates are interlocked with the lift for safety.

We built the lower station access gate onto a level section of the existing staircase, adding a small wedge of platform, a button box post, and an interlocked gate. To the left, 5 stories to the lakehouse. To the right, the boathouse roof.
